Proposal: Colder Readings

Seasonal Affective Order has failed, this proposal is considered self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 05 Mar 2015 12:56:51 UTC

Dependent on Proposal: Seasonal Affective Order

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Readings:

All Townspersons have a statistic called Fate, which is tracked in the GNDT and which defaults to zero.

Once during each Seasonal Festival period, the Astrologer should make a Readings post, which should take the format of a story post. The Readings post should set out a Prediction for each Constellation in each Sign Position. The Astrologer’s method of making these Readings should not be random, but should also not be made public.

Predictions may require the change, addition or removal of any gamestate value, or may make no requirement at all.

Before making each Reading, the Astrologer should evaluate their previous Reading, and adjust the Fate of each Townsperson accordingly. For each Townsperson, they should assess whether the requirements set out in the Predictions for the Constellation / Sign Position pairings in their Birth Signs have been met. For each Prediction that has been met, a Townsperson gains 1 Fate. For each Prediction that has not been met, a Townsperson loses 1 Fate. If a Townsperson has not met any of their Predictions, they neither gain nor lose Fate.

I think we already have more than enough player variables. I like the general idea, and it’s what I was trying to implement with Prophecies (albeit quite anarchically) imperial

against And don’t we already have one (or even two) types of forecast, readings and prophecies in the pipeline?

mideg - no - all other types of forecast, reading or prophecy have been self-killed (except that set out in “Fatality”, which this proposal precedes).

IC, thanks, I obviously got a little confused with all those ... 20 pending proposals….

Still, I personally feel we have enough basic gameplay elements and should start with some actions, let alone some kind of goal…

Darknight, a vote of Deferential on the Astrologer’s Proposal is a vote of For unless the Astrologer selfkills it
